Bianca Censori, the wife of the award-winning rapper Kanye West, has undoubtedly sparked countless conversations over the years with her bold, and often controversial, fashion choices.
Known for her daring, eye-catching outfits, Censori has made a name for herself not just as a model but as a regular subject of discussion regarding her clothing choices—or rather, the lack thereof. Whether attending high-profile red carpet events or simply walking through city streets, the Australian model has garnered attention for sporting outfits that are not merely sensational, but often quite revealing.
As a result, it is hardly surprising that Censori made headlines once again this weekend, as she appeared alongside her husband at the 2025 Grammy Awards on February 2.
True to form, she showcased a dramatic look that turned heads on the red carpet. Censori’s ensemble began with a black feathered coat, which she eventually shed to reveal a completely sheer mesh dress underneath. There was no lingerie in sight, and the dress left little to the imagination, intensifying the shock value of her appearance. The outfit, like many others before it, sparked a wave of reactions, both on the red carpet and online.
Soon after the event, the hashtag #BiancaCensori began trending, with reactions ranging from shock and criticism to disbelief. Social media users shared their opinions in a variety of ways.
“She needs to just put all that away… I’m all for women empowering their bodies, but this?” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Another chimed in: “Aren’t there laws against this sort of thing?”
Yet another user expressed concern, commenting, “It’s shocking but also so sad. That’s someone’s daughter that he’s brainwashed.”
In light of her increasingly bold fashion choices, many have speculated whether her husband, the eccentric Kanye West, might be influencing her decision-making. Given his history of unconventional behavior and outspoken personality, it’s not far-fetched to wonder if Kanye plays a role in guiding his wife’s wardrobe decisions. While the world may continue to debate whether Kanye calls the shots when it comes to Censori’s revealing outfits, one thing seems clear: the 47-year-old rapper, music mogul, and fashion icon doesn’t appear to have any issues with his wife’s daring fashion choices.
At the 2025 Grammys, after the red carpet appearance, West took to Instagram to praise his wife’s outfit, further cementing their public bond. He shared a post about the custom-made mini-dress, writing, “Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful woman ever. My best friend. My wife.”
However, this raises another intriguing question: why did Censori choose to wear such an exposed and revealing outfit? While some may still be questioning her decision, a theory has emerged on social media that might offer an explanation.
Many believe that Censori’s choice of outfit may be a reference to the cover art of Kanye West’s Vultures 1 album, which also features Censori. The album artwork showcases her in a nearly naked pose, with her back to the camera. Despite her almost-bare appearance in the album cover, Censori was still wearing more clothing in that image than she did at the Grammys. On the album cover, she was dressed in thigh-high black boots, and a piece of fabric partially covered her backside, offering more coverage than her Grammy red carpet look.
According to sources like Page Six, it’s believed that the couple’s outfits for the 2025 Grammys were a deliberate attempt to recreate the visual from the Vultures 1 album cover. The choice of such a provocative ensemble might have been part of a larger statement or tribute to West’s music, artistic vision, and relationship with his wife.
At the 2025 Grammys, Kanye West had been nominated for Best Rap Song for his track Carnival, though it was Kendrick Lamar who ultimately took home the award for his song Not Like Us. Despite the award loss, West and Censori undoubtedly made their mark on the evening with their striking appearance and continued to keep fans and critics alike guessing about the motivations behind their fashion-forward, and often controversial, choices.
